At this stage of his career it's too soon IMO, a bad game could knock him back in his development. Manly are a totally different class than Celtic and Hull KR.

I disagree he's deemed good enough for a full time contract and a place in the squad then he's good enough for a final.
Manly are a totally different class i agree then he'll learn more and gain more confidence from facing them than he would from being dropped.
I think and hope he should/will keep his place he's done nothing wrong to warrent being dropped and was promoted to the 1st team squad as part of our elite junior program making him good enough and ready imo.

At this moment finding 17 fit bodies will be the first criteria not whether McShane is ready or not.

Leeds Rhinos are up they with the best in the world when it comes to defence. For the second year running where facing a clinical fullback whose up their with Billy (overrated) Slater. Leeds dealt with him all night last time. Beat Jamie Lyon and you beat Manly - the Leeds players have experience in that department by beating Lyon beating St Helens. Orford for me is the one to watch out for and will pose the biggest threat on the Manly team.

Quietly its all pointing towards a Leeds win. But its Manly making all the noise at the moment. Leeds do the noises on the field TYVM!

Worthy mention, this Buderus thing never settled well with me, and i automatically think of those jokers (especially Mullins) when Buderus is mentioned. We signed him injured, now he has a different injury. Hardly a great start. But fingers crossed. Time will tell no doubt. Hope I'm wrong mind.

Was he, I thought he was a fully fit SOO captain when we signed him?

Pretty much correct although Buderus like the vast majority of 30 year old RL players had known his fair share of time on the sidelines, often back related in his case.

He was enjoying a good run of games when the signing was announced.
